Tractor
Mahindra 3016 HST
When I went to hook the three point hitch attach arms to my tractor there was no movement when I moved the lever. After reading the book to make sure I had done everything, I called my dealer in El Cajon CA. They asked a few questions we tried a few things but nothing worked. The dealer talked to Mahindra support and they suggested checking the hydraulic lines to be sure they were connected to the proper QD.

The dealer sent out their mechanic, Scott, who did the check, fixed the issue and that solved the issue. I had spent hours looking through the forums here for anyone with similar issues, which there were, but no suggestions that the lines were a potential problem.

I bought the tractor 6 months ago and have just hit 29 hours on it when this happened. I have had no issues with the tractor and am nothing but satisfied with it. I have to thank my dealer for talking me into the backhoe because I was not going to get it, but I did and as it turned out I have used the BH more than anything on the tractor.

After all the BH'ing I finally needed the box blade and that is when I discovered the problem. Let me add, the BH worked fine. These are the same lines that connect to the BH and supply the fluid into the unit that runs the three point hitch. I was told by the dealer that no damage has occurred to the three point unit. Everything is working fine now and I am getting familiar with the box blade.

Welcome to the club, Jeff. The 3016 is a power house. I'm glad you like it.
